In this paper, we give a very accurate description of the way the simple exclusion process relaxes to equilibrium. Let PtPt denote the semi-group associated the exclusion on the circle with 2N2N sites and NN particles. For any initial condition χχ, and for any t≥4N29π2logNt≥4N29π2logN, we show that the probability density Pt(χ,⋅)Pt(χ,⋅) is given by an exponential tilt of the equilibrium measure by the main eigenfunction of the particle system. As 4N29π2logN4N29π2logN is smaller than the mixing time which is N22π2logNN22π2logN, this allows to give a sharp description of the cutoff profile: if dN(t)dN(t) denote the total-variation distance starting from the worse initial condition we have limN→∞dN(N22π2logN+N2π2s)=erf(2–√πe−s), limN→∞dN(N22π2logN+N2π2s)=erf(2πe−s), where erferf is the Gauss error function.
